Thiel PX05 is a passive subwoofer crossover that allows your Thiel subwoofer to reproduce, in addition to the subwoofer signal, the low-frequency part of main channel signals that your main speakers cannot reproduce. Use of this crossover provides very good performance for music and home theater systems where the main speakers play sufficiently loud but do not have extended, deep bass response.
